i'm looking for the my documents folder and my pictures folder. but none of my files are there. none at all =(

as for what i see in hda1:
files: dell (folder) adaptec, adeptec2, ami_raid, autoexe, biomp, cables, cache, command, config, copyup, cpu, ddinit, dellboot, delldiag, dellrmk, dellsys, delltbui, dir, disk, diskette, dvd, genaudio, hdaudio, laudio, ieee1394, imchecc, int1588, ioapic, ir, keyboard, lsi, memory, miscpci, mouse, mpcache, nbbatt, nbfan, nbsvc, nbthem, mic, nic8254x, parallel, pci, perc2ada, pm, raid, scsi, seal, serial, smbios, smbus, smi, symtree, sysbdmo, system, usb, usb2, usbdevid, usbkbd, usbmass, usbmouse, usbohci, usbtm, video

most of these are.mdm files

hda3 has:
folders-bat, bin, img, src1, src2, src3, src4, src5
files-autoexe, config, dellbio, comman, dellrmk

what about mounting and opening up hda2? could my stuff be there? again, i tried doing mount -t reiserfs -o rw /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2
and got a long error including wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on dev/hda2 and i also tried mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2
and it told me i must specify the filesystem. so no luck seeing hda2's contents still.

starting to get that sinking feeling that all my files are gone for good. any help is highly appreciated, matt
